Recklessness on Ajuy Beach

Association “1,500 Kilometers of Coast” warns of dangerous behavior

The association Canarias 1,500 Kilometers of Coast posted a video on social media showing a serious act of recklessness at Ajuy beach.

In the footage:

• A swimmer is seen endangering his life in a rocky area.
• A mother wades into the water with her two under‑age children despite strong swell, a backwash current and a red warning flag.

These individual actions, driven by gross negligence, can lead to tragic outcomes. The association is calling for institutional awareness campaigns and aims to educate the public about the hazards of such behavior.

• Current alert: Fuerteventura is on pre‑alert.
• Sea conditions: Wave heights on the island’s western coast are expected to reach up to 3 meters.

Authorities urge extreme caution for anyone near the water.
